-# [WIP] Apache BuildStream Website
+# Apache Buildstream Website (buildstream.apache.org)
+
+This repository provides the source for the main website of The Apache 
Software Foundation.
+
+- [Production website](https://buildstream.apache.org/)
+
+- [Content](content)
+  - **md** pages in GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which can include HTML.
+  - **ezmd** pages in a combination of 
[ezt](https://github.com/gstein/ezt/blob/wiki/Syntax.md) and GFM.
+  - **html** files are treated as static files.
+  - Static assets of all types.
+  - .htaccess files for redirection and rewrite rules.
+
+- [Issues](https://github.com/apache/buildstream-site/issues)
+
+- [Branches](https://github.com/apache/buildstream-site/branches). The 
`staging`
+branch is served on https://buildstream.staged.apache.org/.
+Note that [.asf.yaml](./.asf.yaml) is set up for autopreview. A branch named 
`preview/mytest` for example is automatically staged at 
https://buildstream-mytest.staged.apache.org/.
+

+  - [Creating a pull 
request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request#creating-the-pull-request)
+
+## Documentation
+
+Read the [ASF-Pelican Getting started 
guide](https://infra.apache.org/asf-pelican-gettingstarted.html) and the pages 
it links to.
+
+## Notes
+
+The website is built with [Pelican](https://blog.getpelican.com).
+
+Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is via the [.asf.yaml 
file](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Git+-+.asf.yaml+features)
+mechanism, which runs [Buildbot](https://ci2.apache.org/#/builders/3/).
+
+- [Pelican Configuration](pelicanconf.yaml) -- Pelican configuration.
+- [ASF Data Load](asfdata.yaml) -- ASF metadata to be used by ezt and Pelican. 
See 
[asfdata.py](https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-pelican/blob/master/plugins/asfdata.py).
+- [ASF YAML Pelican Build](.asf.yaml) -- ASF infrastructure instructions.
+
+## Local development and testing
+
+If you wish to update and test the site locally, there is a Docker build 
script you can use.
+You will also need Git, and familiarity with working in a command-line shell.
+
+**The following instructions should work for Unix, Linux, and macOS, but will 
need adjustment for Windows.**
+
+- Install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
+- Change to a suitable directory.
+- Get the Infra Pelican setup: `git clone 
https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-pelican`.
+- Change to the checkout: `cd infrastructure-pelican`.
+- Build the container: `docker build -t pelican-asf .`. This will take a while 
the first time.
+- Change to a suitable directory.
+- Get the ASF website source: `git clone 
https://github.com/apache/buildstream-site`.
+- Change to the website checkout: `cd buildstream-site`.
+- Start the continuous builder: `docker run -it -p8000:8000 -v $PWD:/site 
pelican-asf`. This will generate a lot of output, but will eventually stop. 
[N.B. Pelican calls the data generation plugins 3 times before generating the 
pages.]
+- If you want to add some additional debug output, add the following line to 
`pelicanconf.yaml`: `debug: true`
+- Browse to http://localhost:8000/ .
+
+If you make changes to the local copy of buildstream-site, these will be 
automatically built, and should
+appear in the browser when you refresh the page.
+
+## Previewing proposed changes
+
+Any branch in the buildstream-site repository that is named preview/* will
+auto-build and stage to buildstream-*.staged.apache.org.
+
+If you need to test your changes, create a branch such as preview/_your-asf-id_
+
+Commits to it will be staged at buildstream-_your-asf-id_.staged.apache.org
+
+**Note:** the branch name must not include any "." characters,
+or browsers will refuse to display the site due to an invalid SSL certificate.
+The underscore character should not be used either, as it is disallowed in 
host names.
